Sparring

SPARRING

Sparring is the one thing a lot of people begin to learn Taekwondo for. Sparring is now an Olympic Sport for WTF Taekwondo is a really exhilarating experience. Sparring is a fast pace fight in a 10m x 10m ring and consists of 2 or 3 rounds. Points are scored by kicking your opponents body or head, its a really fun way to keep fit & is harder than it looks.

Poomsae

Patterns or "Poomsae" are a specific set of movements of attack and defense against an imaginary opponent. These movements are a way to implement the Hand Techniques and stances you have learnt along the way and are an opportunity to merge all you have learnt into one set or pattern.

Kicking Techniques

KICKING TECHNIQUES

At Creative Ways Taekwondo we practice many kicking techniques for you to learn. 90% of Sparring is using stepping and kicking techniques to score points. The kicks we perform in Taekwondo are extremely powerful & should not be practiced outside of the lessons unless you are with an adult.

SELF DEFENSE

Self defence in Taekwondo is pre-arranged. The reason we practice pre-arranged self-defence is to ensure students understand the reason why they learn the movements they do & how the application of the techniques they learn actually work. As students progress through Taekwondo & obtain a higher grade they are then introduced to street self-defence which is un-arranged & are expected to put the techniques and movements they have learned into practice themselves.

Hand Techniques

HAND TECHNIQUES

Taekwondo is not all just kicking. Taekwondo has a large number of hand techniques, blocks, strikes, punches. You need to learn different techniques & stances for each grading & all these will help you on your journey in Taekwondo.

CONFIDENCE BUILDING

From stating your name in your grading to demonstrating a technique alone in front of the whole class - these are the stepping stones to building a child's self-confidence. At Creative Ways Taekwondo we praise good behaviour, good techniques & positive attitudes. Self confidence is important & we try and build on it each & every lesson.With structured criticism anyone can improve their skills & fitness.

Confidence Building

Improved Flexibility

IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY

Taekwondo is heavily based on kicking techniques flexibility is really important. We do a warm up & stretching session at the start of every single lesson. With time we will have you touching your toes and working towards doing the splits.Why do we need to be flexible?Easy, with flexible muscles in our legs we can kick higher, are more powerfully & have less risk to injury.

WHAT IS TAEKWONDO?

Essentially Taekwondo is a Martial art. It consists greatly of kicking and striking techniques and will teach you how to use those techniques if you ever needed to. Taekwondo is great for fitness & is a really fast paced sport. Taekwondo covers self defence as part of our syllabus, by practising Taekwondo you will learn what to do in certain scenarios & covers many situations you would not want to find yourself in in real life to give you the confidence if they ever arise.

Taekwondo as a sport has over 60 million practitioners in 184 countries. It originates from South Korea where the world governing body, the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), is currently based.

The modern form of Taekwondo was not agreed until 1955, but the sport has its roots in various Korean forms of martial arts stretching back more than 2,000 years.

The name Taekwondo literally translates as the way of the foot and the fist - "tae" means to break or attack with the foot, "kwon" means to break with the fist and "do" translates as the art or way.
